A LOT of people would merrily choose the 1-hour bike ride provided they won't get murdered by car drivers.
My aunt has both a car and access to perfectly reasonable bus routes, yet often choses to WALK multiple kilometers to work in the summer.
"oh wow he's telling the truth! I'm covered in ectoplasm!"
There's a swedish song about how our welfare system is structured to basically just funnel tax money into private hands via poor people.
Landlord raises the rent, government raises the housing welfare in response, end result is landlord gets more free money from the state.
so that's where all the generic webnovels are made!
they're fleshy display/temperature regulation structures and you cannot convince me otherwise.
i really don't get why they wouldn't just have a short version of the cutscene, yeah sure it's an excuse for garbage collection but surely that can be done in just a couple seconds?
Just have a couple different short clips of the moon and zelda says "The blood moon rises again.."
protagonist confidently aims completely off-mark (not even in the right direction) and shoots; arrow gets halfway and sprouts cartoon eyes as it realizes how hilariously bad the aim was; stops midair, bends like a straw as it changes direction and proceeds to slalom its way through all the targets and 5 extra things just for the hell of it.

if the tools you use are covered in blood then i'm going to politely yet firmly ask you to leave, and call another plumber.
i give about equal odds that either there's some evolutionary downside to it (requires more energy, or makes you more vulnerable to brain injury somehow), or it's just completely irrelevant to our survival and so it's neither selected for nor against.
It would be very funny and miserable if the only thing holding humanity back from perfect memory is evolutionary indifference.
deezer nuts
